Hurricane Irma

Immediately after Hurricane Irma tore through Florida a Foley man responded to pleas for help and sent truckloads of water. Now the Floridians who received that desperately needed shipment are saying thank you.

One of the hardest things to do after natural disasters is cleaning up, and a local church is doing what it can to help those hit by the recent hurricanes. First Presbyterian Church of St. Cloud is gathering buckets of cleaning supplies to send down to the victims of Harvey, Irma and Maria.

The Red Cross says as many as 20 relief workers from Minnesota have been deployed to the southeast United States in advance of Hurricane Irma's arrival. The organization says it's a massive effort to prepare for the most powerful Atlantic Ocean storm ever recorded.
